Vito the pug has been crowned best in show at the 92nd annual National Dog Show – the first time a pug has won the title in at least two decades.

The pup became a sensation when he won best in show at the competition, which was broadcast on Thanksgiving Day. One judge said the 2-year-old is “everything a pug should be.”

The 2023 National Dog Show winner came from the terrier group. Stache, the Sealyham terrier, became the first of its breed to win the best in show title at the National Dog Show. It was the first time in eight years that a winner came from the terrier group, the last terrier winner being a Skye terrier named Charlie in 2015.
